Lesson In Crime, A - Tokyo Police Club

...today. With 8 tracks, A Lesson in Crime only clocks in at 18 minutes. But what a quarter of an hour it is. From the first drum beat to the last synth note, this is a master class in how to make a splash on a scene. They bang, crash and rip their way through the Cheer it on, the EP’s opener, and most certainly the most memorable of their tunes. The choice to chant their name at intervals within the song is an odd one, but the risk pays off with vast ...
...doesn’t appear on it, A Lesson in Crime is an EP that should be handed out to every bedroom guitarist to show them exactly what passion and commitment mean. Tokyo Police Club have the potential to be the sleeper hit of the year, if only the public are smart enough to realise talent when they hear it. ...

Review of Lesson In Crime, A - Tokyo Police Club

If only all young guitar bands were smart enough to rock out this fast, banging out seven first-rate mod-punk party-starters in barely more than sixteen minutes. This foursome has nothing to do with Tokyo (they're from suburban Toronto) or law enforcement; they have everything to do with Buzzcocks-style velocity and Strokes-style guitar hooks, without slowing down for a breath. Their debut EP has no fat on its bones, from the moment David Monks opens ...
...president of the world -- this is an emergency!" "Nature of the Experiment" actually seems to have a fairly intelligent and, indeed, heart-tugging lyric ("It's my impeccable disorder/Where I keep on falling for her"). But intelligence rarely pokes its unwanted head into Tokyo Police Club's mission, which is making you do the hippy-hippy shake down the sidewalk.

Review of Lesson In Crime, A - Tokyo Police Club

Tokyo police club, a 4 piece band from toronto have blasted onto the scene with this rather impressive EP, it features 7 tracks which are: 1. Cheer It On 2. Nature Of The Experiment 3. Citizens of Tommorow 4. Shoulders & Arms 5. If It Works 6. Be Good 7. La Ferrassie All of which i thought were brilliant, they all have catchy hooks and amazing baselines which you'll be singing in your head all day. The vocals are raw and gritty which really works ...
...Julian Casablancas. All the tracks are pacey, upbeat and addictive except La Ferrassie, the last track which they have seemed to slow down but sounds just as good as the others. This EP left me wanting to hear more from the band, and hopefully they're here to stick around. 8/10 Overall ...
